The flavor was good, but it was very dry. I thought it was strange that it only called for a half cup of buttermilk and I almost used 1 1/2 cups. I should've followed my instinct and done that and I'm sure it would have been a great cake. I know Ina wouldn't have a dry cake.

The cake was dry.
The show touted this recipe as a great one to do with kids. Way too many ingredients. The kids got bored. The only fun part with the kids was using candy to decorate.

This was a zero stars recipe, as it was incorrect. The program forced me to at least put one star, but it deserves none. I used up all my expensive cocoa powder for this ridiculous recipe with the egregious typo regarding the buttermilk.

I think a lot of people were running across a "dry cake" consistency because it states 1/2 cup of buttermilk, but the show actually states 1 1/2 cups. Maybe this will help!

The cake was delicious. Texture was like a box cake but with wonderful flavor. I did use 1 !/2 Cups of Buttermilk. Also used my favorite chocolate cream cheese frosting. This will be my go-to cake ! I may try it as a layer cake also.

Cake was dry, but flavor fabulous. The frosting was great, but needed to cool completely to thicken. Guitard chocolate chips made the flavor rich and creamy.

This frosting was absolutely terrible. It never got thick enough to use. I decided to use powdered sugar to thicken it, but I needed to use so much of it the frosting became too sweet. It was horrible and I will never use it again. Ina really needs to edit this.

Can't believe this cake is rated only 3 stars overall. It was soooooo incredible. I made it for a couple of girlfriends for their birthdays. They, as well as everyone else raved about it. The person who said it was dry obviously over baked it. Mine was very moist. The frosting was delish as well. The only change I did was use a cream cheese frosting for the middle, between the layers to break up the richness of the chocolate a bit. My new favorite chocolate cake. Thank you Ina!!

this cake is very dry and I also had trouble with the frosting getting firm enough to frost the cake. I had to add powdered sugar to get it thick enough. I will not make this again, instead I wil try Beattys chocolate cake recipe instead. It had better reviews, but I wanted a fudgey cake not a light cake, this is why I chose this one instead, unfortunately is turned out to be a bad decision.

Made this yesterday and i used natural yogurt instead of buttermilk . I made cupcakes for halloween . it was the best chocolate cake recipe I have ever made or tasted and the family agree, its more like a brownie texture really dense and delicious. I didn't make the frosting as I didn't have the time, I used the betty crocker ready made fudge icing, which was nice and sweet. I am going to use this recipe from now on, for all my cakes where chocolate is needed. AMAZING!!!!!
